In the Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas), 22 party leaders have tendered their resignations while expressing anger at not getting tickets for the Lok Sabha elections.
Among the notable figures who stepped down include former minister Renu Kushwaha, former MLA and national general secretary of LJP, Satish Kumar, state organisation minister Ravindra Singh, Ajay Kushwaha, Sanjay Singh and State General Secretary Rajesh Dangi.
On her resignation from the party, former MP Renu Kushwaha said, ‘Ticket should be given to the party workers instead of people from outside. Tickets were given to the outsiders which means that able people are not there in your party. Are we the labour class people in your party who will work for you, make you a leader? Our devotion was questioned when an outsider was given a ticket. We are not here to serve as labourers for the party’.
Former MLA and national general secretary of LJP Satish Kumar asserted that the rebel LJP leaders will now support the INDIA bloc.
The party’s Organisation Secretary Ravindra Singh claimed that Chirag Paswan sold the tickets.
‘Chirag Paswan has played an emotional game with the people of Bihar. When he got five seats due to our hard work, he sold all those tickets. People of Bihar will give him an answer’, he said.
